Blizzards seemed to be a common thing to happen in her lands. She was certain that she had had at least three in the years she had led Taviora, and they didn’t seem to be going away any time soon. Thankfully of all the lands to be stricken with it, the forest protected its creatures. The trees, though they cried and swayed in the wind and creaked under the weight of the snow, they kept the wind at bay, as well as the snow for a little longer. The forest was caring to its creatures, but she knew it could only take so much, so Zelda made her way through its snow towards the caller she was eager to meet. Zelda wasn’t a large or tall wolfess by any means, and certainly not in comparison to a lot of her family. Slender long legs, helped bound her over the snow, but it still came up to her belly and chest in most places.

It left her tired upon her arrival, but that was only because she tried to get there so quickly. She was happy to see the new Monarch of Iromar again, and so soon even after her take over of the Moors. She was certain if Pine and Cenna were still around they would be happy to know their home was in new, kinder hands. The dark pelted wolfess immediately made her much more kind demeanor than Blackthorne’s had even been imminent by returning her smile, and giving a gentle wave of her tail. No posturing, no sneers or quiet threats. Nothing like that yet spilled from her maw and it felt so wonderful to see and know. Already Zelda could feel herself relax, though she was still a little more anxious not knowing much about the wolfess that stood before her.

Immediately after Zelda had spoken Avery had launched into talking about how understood she was busy at the festival then explained why she was here. Zelda ears twitched forward slightly at the offer. Of course she was more than happy to have peaceful relations with Iromar once again. There was nothing more Zelda would want than to once again be peaceable with every pack in Moladion. While Taviora and Asteraia didn’t have an actually alliance, the treaty was enough to make sure they at least stayed on decent terms. Zelda nodded once in a while as she spoke of the old alliances, Blackthorne’s rule, among other things. When she paused Zelda couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. It was so nice to hear, but she wasn’t given a chance to reply before she continued, offering to do a puppy play date with pups from both the packs. Zelda couldn’t think of any Tavioran mother’s off the top of her head, even last season there were only her young cousins that were born. That might… not go so well. What she did recognize though was that Avery herself was expecting children. Heirs… Zelda wasn’t sure if she would ever have children, every time it was brought up she wondered if she even could or should. She shook it from her mind though, smiling despite that before she replied.

”Congratulations, Miss Avery. I know it is a most joyous time when pups are born. Taviora, to my knowledge, has no children coming to it this spring, I do have two soon to be yearlings.... They are a handful though. If you would like the pups of your land simply to have a nice field trip with your sitter, and then maybe my own aspiring caretaker, and a guard from your pack if that makes you more comfortable we can do that instead. The forest can be a very lovely place when not blanketed in snow.” She said with a little laugh. ”Regardless though, I would be honored to call Iromar an Ally once again under your rule.” She said bowing her head to the wolfess for a moment before lifting her head up again.
